Understanding teething

Teething is a normal part of your baby’s development, yet it can be a challenging time for both you and your little one.

Stages of teething

Babies start teething around 6 months old, but signs of teething can begin anywhere from 4 months to about a year. The first teeth to appear are usually the lower front teeth (central incisors), followed by the upper front teeth.

By the time your child is three years old, they will likely have all 20 primary teeth:

Pre-teething (0-6 months): While not visible, tooth development starts before birth. You might notice your baby chewing on toys or drooling more than usual as their teeth prepare to emerge.

Initial eruption (6 months-1 year): The teething process starts with the bottom front teeth and quickly moves to the top front teeth. This stage is often the most uncomfortable for infants.

Molars (1-3 years): After the incisors, the first set of molars and then the canines will emerge. Finally, the second set of molars appears, which can be as challenging as the initial eruption due to their larger size.

When do I need to seek medical advice?

Most symptoms of teething are mild and manageable. These can include:

- Slight increase in temperature (but below 38°C)

- Increased drooling, which might cause a rash around their mouth

- Gum irritation and sensitivity

- A tendency to bite on hard objects

- Irritability or fussiness

However, some symptoms are indicators that you should seek medical advice:

- High fever (38°C or above)

- Diarrhoea, vomiting, or persistent high irritability

- Signs of infection around the gums like significant swelling or pus

- Refusal to eat or drink anything for a prolonged period

If your baby shows any of these more serious symptoms, it’s important to contact your healthcare provider to rule out other conditions that are not related to teething discomfort.

Causes of teething symptoms

Understanding teething symptoms can help you provide the right support and care for your little one:

Pressure on the gums: As your baby's teeth prepare to break through the gums, they push upwards against the gum tissue. This pressure can cause swelling and tenderness, causing discomfort and an irritable baby.

Increased saliva production: The body naturally increases saliva production during teething. This extra saliva helps to lubricate the gums, making it easier for the teeth to emerge. However, the downside is that it can lead to drooling, which can cause skin irritation or rashes around your baby’s mouth, chin, and chest.

Gum inflammation: When teeth start to cut through gums, it can lead to inflammation, making the gums red and swollen. This inflammation is a natural response to the minor injury caused by teeth erupting through the gum's surface.

Compensatory behaviours: As your baby tries to relieve the pain in their gums, they may start to chew on anything they can get their hands on. Chewing provides counter-pressure that feels soothing on sore gums. It's also why teething babies often put objects or fingers into their mouths.

Disturbed sleep patterns: The discomfort and pain can disrupt your baby's normal sleep routines, leading to more frequent wake-ups at night and shorter naps during the day.

Mild fever: Some babies may develop a slight increase in body temperature due to the inflammation caused by teething. If necessary, you could administer Calpol. However, a true high fever is not typically caused by teething and may indicate another illness.
